A prototype of Sonic Heroes for the Nintendo GameCube, this disc was damaged in 2016, due to old dumping means requiring a disc swap. Resurfacing the disc could render it fully damaged so we're hopeful a new recovery means is found in future.
This disc suffers from bitrot, and only one layer of the game was able to be saved. The data thankfully was very close to retail and no major changes were spotted.
A pre-production UMD of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for the PSP, this UMD was found in a draw in the former R* Leeds office, the data matches final.
The TurboGrafx-16, known as the PC Engine outside North America, is a home video game console designed by Hudson Soft and sold by NEC Home Electronics.
It was the first console marketed in the fourth generation, commonly known as the 16-bit era, though the console has an 8-bit central processing unit (CPU) coupled with a 16-bit graphics processor.
It was released in Japan in 1987 and in North America in 1989. In Europe, the console is known as the PC Engine, after the Japanese model was imported and distributed in the United Kingdomand France from 1988.
In Japan, the system was launched as a competitor to the Famicom, but the delayed United States release meant that it ended up competing with the Sega Genesis and later the Super NES.
